Basic Vegetarian Chili

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1/2 med. onion, diced
• 1&1/2 cup water
• 1 can refried beans (watch out for lard)
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 1 to 1&1/2 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon vegan sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

Bring water to boil. Add onion and cook on med. boil till fairly transparent. Reduce heat to low. Add remaining ingredients. Stir till beans are smooth and heated, a minute or two. I ate it with a dollop of sour cream and some raw diced onion but it is good without any garnish at all. I hope you like it, Connie
